i'll start the review by using my Zotac 8800GT non-AMP version,Processor review coming soon.

Stock clock 660MHz/900Mhz
But i downclocked to 650MHz/900MHz for easier reference.
All thermalpaste is freshly applied and i'll run a 3DMark06 Professional Edition to sink the thermalpaste (short term sinking) then only i run ATi Artifact Scanning Tool.

Procedures:
Run 3Dmark06 once applied with new thermalpaste and break for 10 minutes to record idle temperature of GC core by using Riva Tuner 2.06,
Load ATi Artifact Scanning Tool for 20 minutes (short load) to get the temperature of GC core.

I replaced Zotac's stock hsf to Zalman FC-ZV9 Fatal1ty

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First thermalpaste to test:
Artic Silver 5

Idle temp with freshly applied AS5


Load temp


Idle:43c
Load:55c

AS5 spreaded on GC core after test


AS5 is very hard to clean as it's too sticky,but overall performance i rated 8/10,since AS5 needs at least 200hours to sink,i believe that it has better performance after 200 hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Second thermalpaste to test:
Arctic Cooling MX-2

Idle temp with freshly applied MX-2


Load temp


Idle:44c
Load:53c

MX-2 spreaded on GC core after test


MX2 spreaded evenly on the GC core,but the result is kinda disappointed,rated 7.5/10 by me but i hope it will perform well in the coming processor test.
It performs very good in load temp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third thermalpaste to test:
Arctic Cooling MX-1

Idle temp with freshly applied MX-1


Load temp:


Idle:44c
Load:55c

MX-1 spreaded on GC core after test:


Old technology compared to MX-2,this is the first generation of MX series from AC,rated only 6.5/10,bad idle temp and bad load temp for this highly rated thermalspate from other reviews.

fourth thermalpaste on the hand:
Tuniq TX-2

idle temperature of freshly applied TX-2


load temp:


idle:43c
load:53c

TX-2 spreaded on GC core after test:


this is the latest thermalpaste introduced by Tuniq,but overall it perform very well,rated 9/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fifth thermalpaste is ready:
Cooler Master stock

idle with freshly applied CM stock


load temp:


idle:44c
load:54c

CM stock paste spreaded on GC core after test:


unbelievable result given by a normal stock thermalpaste,even better than MX-1,rated 8.5/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sixth (last) thermalpaste to test:
Thermalright stock

idle with it freshly applied


load temp:


idle:44c
load:55c

Thermalright stock paste spreaded on Fatal1ty hsf.


this consider a normal performance for stock thermalpaste,rated 6/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Conclusion:


Tuniq MX-2 is the champ!!!

i hope this review is useful to u guys,but sorry to tell that i have no enough time to make all those thermalpaste sinked perfectly.

more review coming soon.
